Below is my entity model sample

import java.util.Date;
import javax.persistence.*;
@Entity
@Table(name = "INVOICE")
public class PublishInvoice {
    @Id
    private int INVOICE_ID;

    @javax.persistence.Temporal(TemporalType.TIMESTAMP)
    @Column(name = "MATURITY_DATE")
    private Date MATURITY_DATE;

    @Transient
    private String mDATE;
}

I am getting the date from UI in the string which I then convert to util.Date() before saving, by below code

try {
    Date d = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd").parse(publishInvoice.getmDATE());
    System.out.println(publishInvoice.getmDATE() + "\t" + d.toString());

    publishInvoice.setMATURITY_DATE(d);

} catch (ParseException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}
publishInvoiceService.save(publishInvoice);

Below is my DB table

CREATE TABLE "WIZ1"."INVOICE" 
(   
    "MATURITY_DATE" DATE, 
    "INVOICE_ID" NUMBER NOT NULL ENABLE, 
     CONSTRAINT "WIZ_PK" PRIMARY KEY ("INVOICE_ID")
}

Let me know if anything else is required. Any help is appreciated

Answer 1

I must ask you why @Transient is being used, try removing it if it's not necessity.

See this example to understand ORA-01861 I reckon oracle is trying to do something like this.

Run this in SQL Developer

SELECT TO_DATE (‘20190522’, ‘yyyy-mm-dd’) FROM dual;

and you will get error you're seeing. ORA-01861

Run this to verify how it should work,

SELECT TO_DATE (‘2019-05-22’, ‘yyyy-mm-dd’) FROM dual;

With that being said I have a feeling your code, Date d = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd").parse(publishInvoice.getmDATE()); is not returning correct date.

I believe java Date could be potential problem here. update database column with field type TIMESTAMP and java mDATE to java.sql.Timestamp;
